I feel so sorry to read about families choosing not to include their children - family and true friends should NOT abandon you because you choose a different lifestyle. I believe in a loving God, a God who loves his children no matter what path they choose. I have chosen to live with my boyfriend even though we are not married, I lost a lot of my mormon friends, or should I say "friends" (I am also inactive in the church) - because if they can't accept me for who I am they couldn't have been my friends. I wouldn't even dare to think about how they would feel knowing that I also found out as an adult that I am bisexual. <br />So what am I saying, don't change who you are! Be strong, and I know you will get a happy life :-)<br /><br />Mette, a former BYU student :-)Robogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15735787350813837415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815414794482894114.post-75223230009498280592012-10-22T19:25:10.992-07:002012-10-22T19:25:10.992-07:00MJ,

They told me that I should at least take my children to church so that they can have the opportunity to learn about "our" savior. I told them I would take my children to church if they could say yes to my question. They were game so I asked them, "would you take your children to a place that would teach them that you, their parents, are going to hell?" "And further more, do you honestly believe this would be healthy for your children to hear?" <br />I have to give it to the boys, they said no. We agreed that not going to church was the healthier option for my children. They neve came back to my house ;) although the visiting teachers come looking for Tiff all the time :) <br />I'm sorry for your pain. Know you are not alone! You can come with our family and celebrate any time you'd like :) any holiday. <br />Take a deep breath. Feel your truth and know that the only thing you can do is live your truth with every ounce of yourself. <br />AMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815414794482894114.post-56660415839214254742012-10-22T16:55:29.485-07:002012-10-22T16:55:29.485-07:00I love you, MJ.

I guess this is one of those times where you hold to the love of your family of choice. Lots of love to you, friend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843841715950263247noreply@blogger.com
